Stephen Curry earns 2022 NBA All-Star Game MVP, demolishes record for most 3-pointers in single game..
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is having the worst 3-point shooting season of his career, but during Sunday's NBA All-Star Game in Cleveland, he reminded everyone why he's the greatest shooter of all time.
Suiting up for Team LeBron, Curry was in vintage form, scoring 50 points and knocking down 16 of 27 3-pointers in every way imaginable, setting a new All-Star record in the process.
His thrilling performance in Team LeBron's 163-160 win over Team Durant earned him the 2022 Kobe Bryant NBA All-Star Game MVP, the first time he's received the honor in eight career All-Star Games.
With his 10th 3-pointer of the game during the third quarter, Curry broke Paul George's record for the most 3-pointers in a single All-Star Game.
The record-breaker might have been his most difficult of the night, a one-legged runner from the top of the key.
- Curry was only getting started, however, making five more 3-pointers in the quarter to give him 15 3s and 45 points through three frames.
- Curry's final tally of 50 points was just two away from Anthony Davis' All-Star Game record of 52, set in 2017.
With his performance, Curry -- who was born in Akron, Ohio -- also raised over $100,000 for the Cleveland Metro School District.
